Parkettes gymnastics?

Question

Pakettes gymnastics is were some of the top gymnast trained people all over the world come train there but i watched the cnn docamintury and they really were kind of means to the kids cause the girls would just break down what have you heard about parkettes

Answer 1

i watched the video on youtube

but i have not really heard anything

but what i think is tht each athlete is diffrent and some need to be pushedand yelled at and others need to be encouraged

and i think tht at parkettes they just want each girl to do her personal best

Answer 2

i compete at the parkettes invitational every year...i think the coaches believe its the price to pay to be good even though its really not at all...but the coach might be mean but i think rumors and reputation get around more

Answer 3

It's a death trap. The gymnasts are encouraged to throw skills they CAN'T do, are constantly injured, criticized, etc. They pretty much ruined some of the best gymnasts (Uzelac, Fogerty, Jasper, etc.). What you saw on the doc was most definitely real.
